Chapter 1003: Replace Alian?

Xu Jicheng said: "Three of the five starters for the Grizzlies were former Suns players. This is a civil war for the Suns."

Zhang Liji said with a smile: "The Grizzlies' starting lineup will be dismantled in two years at most. The state of the two-horse team has declined relatively in the past two seasons, especially this season, the decline is slightly more obvious."

Yu Jia said: "That means that this season, the Grizzlies do not have a strong ability to compete for the championship?"

"In the West, let's not talk about the Suns. The Grizzlies will definitely not be able to beat the Lakers. Now it is probably too difficult to beat the Mavericks. The Grizzlies can't beat the West. Let's not talk about the Cavaliers and Heat in the East." Zhang Li said.

At this time the game started, Li Ba and Gasol jumped the ball, and the Suns attacked.

Marbury faced off against Rondo, Marion let Tony Allen go, switched to defense David Lee, and Kurt Thomas double-teamed Lee Ba.

Thomas and Gasol did not attack front and back, but adopted flexible defense to cut off Li Ba's receiving line.

In this way, Li Ba left the paint area in three seconds.

At this time, the unguarded Arnie Allen cut into the paint from the left wing and from Li Ba, and Kurt Thomas quickly returned to defend the basket.

Then Li Ba entered the paint area again and rushed towards the basket.

But this time there was still no offensive strategy.

Although Marbury has passed his prime, his speed is still good. Rondo is very fast, but not as experienced as the former, and was unable to pass the ball in for a while.

Zhang Lili said: "Marbury won a championship with the Hammers, but the style of play has really changed. A few seasons have passed and he is still defensive. I have to say that sometimes the people around him are against one person. The impact is huge.”

When Li Ba saw that Rondo couldn't handle Marbury, and there was not much time left to attack, he immediately moved from the basket to the high post and set up a pick-and-roll for Rondo.

Rondo used the wall to break into the paint. He was dizzy. Instead of passing back to Li Ba, he rushed into the basket.

There are David Lee, Marion, and Kurt Thomas under the basket, and Gasol is behind him. How can there be room for him?

As soon as he entered, he was blocked and then double-teamed by three people. The ball was quickly intercepted by Marion.

The Grizzlies fast break, both horses start from the basket at the same time, but the fastest is Rudy Gay on the three-point line.

Li Ba returned to defense from the high post and failed to catch up with Gay. The latter received a pass from Marbury and hit a one-arm dunk that smashed the Suns' basket.

Zhang Lili said at this time: "This is the unreasonableness of the lineup. The point guard suitable for the Suns is actually someone like Marbury, who is both offensive and defensive, and can shoot three-pointers, rather than someone like Rondo who can only make sudden baskets." A point guard who can score.”

Yu Jia said: "Yes, with David Lee under the basket, there is no room to break through."

Xu Jicheng said: "Nash is also suitable for the Suns, but his defense is poor."

Zhang Lili said: "It's not that Nash doesn't have a defensive attitude, he just has a weak physique and can't defend him. If he has Marbury's strong physique, it would be most suitable for him to come to the Suns."

"I think Nash can also come to the Suns. He has no defense and can directly let the opponent's point guard rush in and take shots." Yu Jia said.

"Haha, that's okay." Zhang Lili laughed.

At this time, the Suns advanced to the frontcourt. Li Ba did not go down to the low post, but stood directly in the high post. Gasol and Kurt Thomas were guarding below.

David Lee goes to the basket and Marion defends.

In other words, the Grizzlies have three people in the paint area below Lee Dam.

Rondo gave the ball to Li Ba. The moment Li Ba took the ball in his right hand, he immediately turned left, took his left foot as the axis, stepped down with his right foot, and broke through Gasol with the ball.

Gasol and Kurt Thomas moved on defense at the same time.

But at this moment, Li Ba took one step back, jumped up from a high position, and threw with a straight arm.

His first step and bullet speed were so fast that it was too late for Gasol and Thomas to defend him.

With Li Ba's jumping height and terrifying wingspan, the shooting height of this straight-arm throw is already one foot beyond the basket. Throwing it from top to bottom, the hit rate is guaranteed.

With a swipe sound, the basketball was hollowed into the basket.

2:2, flat.

Yu Jia said at this time: "Actually, I don't think it's appropriate for David Lee to start the game. His main offensive area is the basket. He doesn't take many shots near the basket. He also takes up the hammer's space."

Xu Jicheng said: "Yes, this forces the Hammer to leave the basket. He still needs a power forward who can pull out, just like Marion."

Zhang Lianda said: "Gasol is not very suitable, and his offensive range is mostly at the basket. So there is a problem with the Suns' lineup, mainly because there are no players who can play.

On the other hand, Borris Diaw and Antonio McDyess on the bench can be pulled out to play, and they also have defense.

There must be someone on the inside who can be pulled out to play, otherwise there will be too many people in the paint area and there will be no room for outside breakthroughs. Look at the first quarter, Tony Allen and Ginobili didn't break through a few times combined. Ginobili could still shoot, but Tony Allen basically only had to defend, and the offensive end was ignored. "

Yu Jiadao: "So I think head coach Brooks should be bolder and try to put these two people in the starting lineup and see how it works. McDyess is old, but Diaw is still in his prime, and his offensive area can reach beyond the three-point line. , he can also attack in the low post. If he is in the starting lineup, his time will be guaranteed. He will definitely have the level of 10+5+5. He is only 26 years old and can still play for a few years."

"There is no chance. Let me tell you, many people in this league can produce very good statistics as long as they have the chance." Zhang Li said.

Xu Jicheng said at this time: "Opportunity is indeed important."

Zhang Lili said: "Opportunities here must be fought for, not waited for. If you don't fight for them, you will definitely not have a chance, because there will always be someone more active than you, and there will always be someone with better talent than you.

As far as I know, the Hammers have been instilling this concept in Arab League when he was still in China. Now, do you think how well the UAE is playing here? The absolute main forward, in the first few games this year, he took 11 shots, the third most shot in the Eagles, second only to Joe Johnson and Josh Smith. "

"Hey, don't mention it, Ah Lian is quite suitable to partner with the Hammer." Yu Jia shouted at this time.

"Yes, he can attack, defend, and pull out. His three-pointers are also good. The Hammers have asked him to practice three-pointers before. He is indeed suitable to partner with the Hammers. When he comes to the Suns, with the Hammers taking care of him, he will definitely You can put up All-Star numbers!”

Xu Jicheng shouted excitedly.

"David Lee started in the starting lineup last season and averaged 20+11 All-Star numbers per game. I think the Hawks will agree to switch to the UAE."

Zhang Lili said with a smile.

"It can be traded with the Hammers. In addition to David Lee, Gasol can also be traded. UAE's current strength is definitely not weaker than the two of them, and it is more suitable for the Hammers." Yu Jia said.

"This task is left to you." Zhang Li said.

"No problem." Yu Jia smiled.
